This book offers a new look at emergence in terms of a hierarchical
emergent ontology. Emergence is recognised as a universal
principle, as universal as the principle of evolution. This is
achieved by setting out the ontological criteria of emergence and
such criteria's various roles. The traditional dichotomies are
overcome, e.g., the synchronic and diachronic perspectives are
unified, allowing a single, universal principle of emergence to be
applied across various fields of science. As exemplars of its
practical utility in both explanation and prediction, this new
approach is applied to three different scientific areas: cellular
automata, quantum Hall effects, and the neural network of the mind.
It proves that the resulting metaphysics of hierarchical emergent
ontology plays a fundamental role in unifying science, an
impossible task under classical reductionism.
